Garden weddings are a fabulous opportunity to try something a little fresh and out of the ordinary for your guests. Flowering Lattice Garden Wedding invitations are the perfect opportunity to incorporate your spring wedding theme, show your personality, and even save a little money making them yourself.

Here is a Flowering Lattice Garden wedding invitation project that is beautiful, classy, and easy to do. If you are having a large wedding with quite a few guests this fall I highly recommend asking some of your bridesmaid and even the grooms men to help make these wonderfully unique Flowering Lattice invitations.

For this Garden wedding invitation project you will need:

Lattice stencil

Wedding flower stencil

Heavy grade watercolor paper

Watercolor paint or acrylic paint

Water

Paint Brushes

Sharp Scissor or Exacto Knife

Pencils

This is an easy Flowering Lattice Garden wedding invitation project if you break it down into a number of different steps and don't let them overwhelm you.

The first step is to find some Flowering Lattice and wedding flower stencil images. Use any flower you will be using in your Garden wedding or one you just like.

Look at fabric as well as photos for inspiration. You can easily trace these onto some acetate and cut out your own stencils. Look for different shapes and large sizes. Garden Wedding invitations traditionally have quite a bit of information printed on them, so your Flowering Garden Lattice will need to be big enough to include all of the information you want on there. You can also use real wood lattice as inspiration for your wedding invitations and free hand your painting.

Once you have found a variety of Flowering Lattice stencils you will want to lay them out on some regular drawing paper, trace them and cut them out. I love this look because you can se your exacto knife to cu tout the holes in the wood lattice and your wedding guests will have a few peeks at the wedding information inside before they even open the cards.

Takeaways
  • For a crisp look try buying some watercolor gum medium.
  • This paints on like glue and dries like rubber.
  • You can paint on the paper to outline your flower or lattice lines.
Did You Know?
Now, use some of your water to dilute the watercolor paint and gentle start brushing it along the edges of your lattice wedding invitations.
